THE charge often made during the
last three months that the knights
of Labor have lost many members
and is much weaker numerically
now thau year ago, is fully sub
stantiated by the report of the gen
eral secretary of the order to the
national assembly now in session at
Minneapolis. From this report it
appears that the organization has
lost about 100000 members. Th is
is serious falling of, aud it would
seem that in an organization having
as claimed 100000 to 100000 mem
bers to lose one fourth of it's mem.
bership in one year, would be con-
sldered important enough to induce
much anxious enquiry on the part
of its officers. The disastrous fail
ure Of many of the large strikes par
ticipated in and engineered by labor
societies, and the diversity of opin-
ion touching local interests, is as
signed as the chief cause of the
breaking up. At all events there is
decided unrest among the brother
hood in the north and east, and fur
Their reduction in numerical strength
is looked for.

AS the time for the first session of
the Fiftieth congress draws near the
subject OF tariff revision and the re-
duction of the surplus attracts the
attention of the people. The various
expressions on this all-importont
subject by the several party conven-
tions in the different states this fall
show how engrossed is the public
mind with the topic and how men of
all parties appreciate the necessity
of doing something to relieve the
people Of unnecessary taxation, and
money in the public treasury.

Little Rock Gazette: Judge H. II.
Elicit, who dropped dead in Mem
phis Saturday, soon after delivering
the address of welcome to President
Cleveland, was a distinguished law
yer and jurist. He was a native of
New Jersey, but went to Mississippi
when quite young man. He was
elected to congress in 1916, to fill a
vacancy caused by the resignation
of Jefferson Davis, who left that
body to go to Mexico. He declined
a re election, but afterwards served
on the supreme bench of the state,
and in the state senate. In 1861 he
was offered but declined the position
of postmaster general in the confed-
crate cabinet. After the late war
Judge Elicit returned to Memphis
and engaged in the practice of his
profession, In which he was success
full. In 1886, by unanimous call of
the Memphis bar and the unanimous
nomination OF the democratic con-
ventlon, he became candidate for
chancellor, which Office he was filling
at the time of his death.

SEVERAL citizens OF Little Rock
dissatisfied with the action of the
Pulaski county board of equaliza-
ton have decided to test the consti-
nationality Of the law providing for
their ppolntment on the grounds
that their work nullifies the work of
the assessor who is elected by the
people. The chancery judge before
whom the suit was brought decided
against the plaintiffs and the case
goes up to higher court on appeal.
This is an interesting case and will
be closely watched.

The Little Rock Gazette of last
Sunday was one of the very best pa
pers ever published in the State.
Besides the full and correct tele-
graphic, State and general news de.
partments, were special articles
treating Of our coal fields, granite
beds, slate and sand stone quarries,
fruits, railroads, and statements OF
the financial condition of nearly for
ty counties in the state. All of
which shows boundless energy and
the pluck that wins. Such paper
cannot fail to do a grand work in
calling attention to our varied and
valuable resources and in attracting
immigration to the State.

bring in bale Of cotton and before
starting home wonld load into their
wagon a side of bacon and a sack
or two of -four. This is bad

ture that few who farm in this way

his cotton and other produce for

and education. His standing in his
community is A ! for truth and prob

from using the word cancer, the
facts he gives settles the question
of the nature of his disease. He
says his physicians never said the
sore was cancer, but that they all
warned him that there was great
danger that it might turn into can
Ger. At any rate, none of them
could afford Mr.. Stands the slight

Gentlemen-For twenty years |
have had sore on my left cheek.
1t had gradually been growing worse
The many physicians whom | had
consulted were unable to do me any
good. Last fall year ago | began
using S. S. S. At first 1T inflamed
the sore, and it became more viru-
lent than ever; so much so, indeed,
that my family insisted that should
leave off the medicine. l persisted
in using the S. S. s. At the end of
two months the sore was entirely
healed. Thinking that the evil was
out of my constitution, left off the
medicine; but in November, ten
months after, very slight breaking
out appeared. | at once began
again on S. S. S., and now that is al
so disappearing. l have every faith
in 5. S. S. 1t has done me more
good than all the doctors and other
medicines / ever took. Yours truly,

In Brief. And To The POINT,

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disorder
ed liver is misery. Indigestion Is a
foe to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one Of the most complicated and
wonderful things in existence. 1t is
easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation Of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done a wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that
they can enjoy their meals and be
happy.
Remember NO happiness with
out health. But Green's August
Flower brings health and happiness
